Last year I grew 4 plants and keep cutting off the top and they would grow back stronger and bigger each time. I never pulled from the root and I never did the weird cardboard thing and they tasted so good and were so lush and green.
Beautiful celery! I just learned that celery needs to be blanched and mine are ready now...so tomorrow I will be doing just that. Thanks so much for this video.
Omg! Thank you for sharing about the blanching step!!! I have lots of celery plants but they never make proper stems. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks!!
What do you mean by "never make proper stems"? Because it sounds like an environment / watering / nutrition issue that blanching aka blocking sunlight to the stems is not going to solve
I've been buying it in the store and only removing the large stems for juicing (thanks Anthony William!) then I put the remaining small stalks in an inch or two of water on a windowsill or outside in the shade / part sun and let them root. I'll have to experiment with the blanching, my instinct is telling me it's unnecessary and would just reduce nutrient density but it's worth a side by side to compare the flavor.
Blanching can be optional depending on how you prefer your celery. If you happened to do a comparison, please let us know the results. Thank you very much for visiting.
Thanks for sharing your video! Your garden is beautiful. I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels! 💐🌸🌺🌻
What a cracking video, thanks. I have celery here in Scotland ready to prick out and didn't realise there was so much to growing it i.e. blanching. Glad I watched this. Take care and have fun.
I love how you respond to the questions in the comment sections. And its magical how people from very different corners of the world had similar questions with me. I will be planting celery this month, my first time ever . Thank you for being part of my celery growing story via this amazing video. Happy gardening from a sunny Nairobi,Kenya😍
Love to hear it💚. Replying to comments and learning from other gardeners is one of my favorite things on this channel. Wishing you a fruitful garden and thank you so much for watching from Nairobi 🇰🇪 😊
Never grown celery but this was a really nice video. I do grow some vegetables and saw some good common sense steps through your video. Appreciate your time to make and share video. Nice camera work. Jesus bless.
Thank you! This is my first year growing celery and your tips will come in hand for my success! They are currently about 4-6 inches tall. I think I will plant them in the bed with my artichokes, because you said they like nitrogen rich soil.
Very informative video thank you. Im a complete beginner so have some questions. Do we just leave the root in the soil? Will that root grow into more celery?
Thank you very much for your comment! If you leave the roots in soil, the plant is still live and will grow new leaves, however, it will not likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Cheers!
"prise" out??? That's the first time in my 59 years of life to read/hear that word/term. Once in awhile you get shown the light, I'm the strangest places if you look at it right✌️🤟🌱🌎
Yes, absolutely. I always remove roots from the soil (roots go to my compost bin) and add fresh compost and sometimes fertilizer to make it a new soil. This old soil cleared from roots acts like the peat moss/coir +perlite that I mention in my soil mixes. Glad you love my video and thank you so much for your comment!
Thanks so much for this informative video. I love seeing videos that show start to finish! It's so much better. One question: what is the minimum depth that your pot needs to be? I only want to grow a small amount. Thank you.
If roots left in the soil, the plant is still live and will grow new leaves or stems, but it wouldn't likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Thank you very much for your comment!
I’m excited to try grow celery for the first time. I live in Ohio; what’s the best time (month) to prepare to take the seedlings outside? (Also trying to determine when to start seeds inside)
You want to start seeds inside about 8-10 weeks before last frost date. Looks like in Ohio last frost date is around first of May. So you can start seeds in mid to end of February. Make sure to harden off seedlings (expose seedlings to the outside condition gradually) before transplanting, for about a week. Best time for transplanting is when soil temperature reaches above 50°F. I hope this helps and thank you very much for visiting!
My extra celery in the garden has survived all the frosts in the 20s this winter. Western Oregon. Quite frost hardy, looked like they were frozen and were just fine when it warmed up.
my question exactly. started mine inside in February, just because i had had enough now, lol. now its last week of April and i will begin hardening off. our temp is 45 in the am and 65 during the day. because they seem so fragile, will they wilt?@@TowardGarden
All I can say is WOW! My celery never looks like that. Can you please let me know if I could take the planter into the house for the winter? Not sure if it's worth it.
Celery is a cool crop, so not sure if bringing them inside is a good idea. Depending on the winter condition, if you don't have frost in forecast, I thin it is better to keep them outside, or bring inside just at cold nights. Hope you will have a great harvest and thank you very much for your comment!
A very good question actually. Manure is a good source of nutrients specially nitrogen to grow leaves. We just need to make sure it is well composted and not fresh. Almost all bagged manures at garden centers are composted and safe to use. You can use chicken, cow or horse manure. Make sure to follow instructions on the bag for mixing ratios. Here are few examples you can find at Lowe's: ( www.lowes.com/pd/GRO-WELL-1-cu-ft-Organic-Compost-and-Manure-Provides-Organic-Nutrients/1000142563 ), ( www.lowes.com/pd/Gardeners-Chicken-Manure-1-cu-ft-Organic-Compost-and-Manure-Provides-Organic-Nutrients/3240886 ). Thanks for getting in touch!
Blanching or covering celery stems will prevent sunlight change their color to dark green and making them taste bitter. The less light stems receive, the more crunchier and sweeter they get, also the color will be more lighter same as you see in stores. So glad you love the video and thank you so much for your comment!!
Although the plant is still live and will grow new leaves, it will not likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Thank you for visiting and good luck!
@melodylamour6123 yes, if plants go to flowering then you can collect seeds. Jsut make sure that the variety is heirloom and not hybrid. Seeds collected from hybrid variety will not produce same type as first-time growth. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
Just wanted to know what soil mixture do you use. Can you maybe let me know what exactly do I need to use quantities and how much of each for the soil. Thank you for a great video.
I mixed equal parts of composted maure(chicken), peat moss, and perlite, plus 1/2 cup garden lime for each pot. The easier option would be to mix potting soil (2parts) plus one part of bagged composted manure you can find in your garden center. I also fed the plants every 2-3 weeks with diluted fish emulsion. I hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment.
I know I am late to the party but thank you for such an insightful video. I have a few questions: Will the celery grow back as the roots are still in the ground? How do I grow celery for seed? Then I wouldn't blanch the celery as i don't care too much for the stems and prefer the leaves.
So glad you liked the video. Yes, the root left in ground will produce new stalks, maybe not as fully grown as the first time though. This will work specially if you like the leaves. And if you want to collect seeds, just let it go to flowering, which will happen when weather gets warmer. Flowers will then produce seeds at the end of growing season. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
I love celery leaves and I will try this method. I live in Lagos Nigeria and we have just 2 seasons but I will grow in containers on my balcony. Thank you so much.
hi dear, i really like the way you grow your celery from seed to harvest ♥ How much kilo/grams does a one celery weight? it seems your celery are massive ones!
We really don't knowing about earlier but we can finding it around riverside in Nepal and very few people used to eating it but since decades I am eating it sometimes. It's a good beneficial natural harble.
I'm so glad i found your videos i've been watching them all. lol... but quick question, do you always transplant your seedling with new fresh soil in the grow bags? i have grow bags but i amend it with compost.
So glad to have you with us. For the potting soil, I rarely use new soil and mostly amend my old soil. If you haven't already, you can check here on how I reuse my old potting soil here ruclips.net/video/nlmarlrwfPI/видео.htmlsi=Q_sNPuI5QzMczonI. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment! 😊
I usually have my pots elevated from ground ( like placing on pallets) and that helps a lot with slugs. There are organic slug bait such as Sluggo which is basically iron phosphate you can use. Another great option is to sprinkle food grade DE Diatomaceous earth on plants to stop slugs crossing. I haven't tried but heard that coffee ground and egg shells help too. Hope this helps and good luck!
If you are asking about harvesting time, you can pick the stalks when they are edible size at about 100-110 days. Glad you liked it and thank you for your comment!
Those are beautiful celeries! Question, if I am growing some for my pet rabbit, what is best way to harvest... cut off tops as they grow? Pick a whole one as you did? Also, would a rabbit like blanched version better than natural, bitter one? Thank you!!
I think just picking the stems as the grow is a better option for your rabbit. You can have constant harvest like that. As far as the taste, that one you should ask your rabbit😄 Try one without blanching to see if it is ok. The ones from store are blanched so if he eats them then your rabbit definitely likes blanched one too. Happy growing for your and your rabbit and thank you very much for your comment!🐇💚
When they are ready to be picked, if you leave the bottoms will they grow another? They came out absolutely beautiful! I will be trying celery this year.
The plant left in soil will grow new leaves and small stems, however, it will not likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Thank you so much for your comment!
You can plant celery in pots at least 8 inch (20 cm) wide. Growing Celery plants need plenty of water so make sure to keep it watered and well fed. Thanks for visiting!
Hello, The brown seed plugs I bought them at my local garden center. But you can find similar trays online, the plugs are 2 "x2" like this one ( www.amazon.com/dp/B08FBNXNWF/ref=twister_B0BD31ZPLR?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 ). Thanks!
I love that you take us from start to finish, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you.

Best overall video on growing celery I've seen so far!
Delighted for your comment! Thank you so much😊
Agree!!
Last year I grew 4 plants and keep cutting off the top and they would grow back stronger and bigger each time. I never pulled from the root and I never did the weird cardboard thing and they tasted so good and were so lush and green.
how much can i regrow from the same roots ?
the Utah is supposed to be self blanching. the cardboard looks easy compared to the trenching.
Same! Didn't feel I needed the cardboard process for that 'grocery store look', still came out potent little veggies
Can i see your video?
I need to try that. Can't wait to cut mine

The more I cut mine off the bigger the stems grew!

Another option is not to cut all the stalks at once, unless you need that much. Cut only what's needed at a time.

After cutting, can you remove the roots and reuse the soil? My 1st time planting celery.
Yes, absolutely. I always remove roots from the soil (roots go to my compost bin) and add fresh compost and sometimes fertilizer to make it a new soil.

That is a cleaning container I am reusing, but it is not great for plants and doesn't las long. I stop using them.
Will it grow again from the root?
Although the plant is still live and will grow new leaves, it will not likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Thank you for visiting and good luck!
@@TowardGarden need to dig out the roots and plant new?

I think just picking the stems as the grow is a better option for your rabbit. You can have constant harvest like that. As far as the taste, that one you should ask your rabbit😄 Try one without blanching to see if it is ok. The ones from store are blanched so if he eats them then your rabbit definitely likes blanched one too. Happy growing for your and your rabbit and thank you very much for your comment!🐇💚
When they are ready to be picked, if you leave the bottoms will they grow another? They came out absolutely beautiful! I will be trying celery this year.
The plant left in soil will grow new leaves and small stems, however, it will not likely produce stems like its first grow. You may also move into hot season by the time it regrows and it will bolt. Thank you so much for your comment!
Is it mandatory that celery stalks be wrapped? I like the spread out foliage.
It is up to you. The more light stalks see, the more darker (dark greener) they get and the taste will be more bitter.
Thank you for visiting!
Can we plant celery in small pots?
You can plant celery in pots at least 8 inch (20 cm) wide. Growing Celery plants need plenty of water so make sure to keep it watered and well fed.

Hello, where do you get the brown seed Starting trays from? I commented on the wrong video, my apologies.
Hello, The brown seed plugs I bought them at my local garden center. But you can find similar trays online, the plugs are 2 "x2" like this one ( www.amazon.com/dp/B08FBNXNWF/ref=twister_B0BD31ZPLR?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 ). Thanks!
